Wrangler Weekly
Week of December 8, 2024
Message from Ms. Bratton, principal
Three quick items that pertain to all:
1. Just a reminder that our second progress report of the nine weeks can be found in Skyward.
2. Semester Exams are just around the corner. Here is our EXAM SCHEDULE for Dec. 18-20. As per district policy, students are not allowed to take exams early. If they miss an exam and cannot get it made up prior to the end of the day on Dec. 20, students will need to come to school on January 6 (a student holiday) to make up their exam(s). Please call the counseling office if you have any questions. Regarding the grade level awards ceremonies during finals week, if your student is receiving an award for Community, Perseverance, or Excellence, we will send you an invitation next week via email.
3. As previously communicated, Ms. Zach will be moving to MVMS. Today was her last day with us, and we had a great time serenading her off on Karaoke Day. We will truly miss her at SB. Ms. Troy Jones will be here on Monday and will be here daily through the end of the semester.
8th grade parents only:
- Rising Ranger parent night at SVHS on Monday, 12/9 at 6 PM
- Rising Ranger student visit on Wednesday, 12/11
- 8th grade advising sessions to plan for high school will be scheduled at SBMS for January 8 - January 24.
An 8th grade parent/guardian can attend their student’s advising session in-person, virtually or by phone. If you are unable, or do not wish to attend your student’s advising session, please complete this form, and we will follow up with an email once your student’s advising session has been completed with a summary of what was discussed. However, if you would like to participate with your 8th grader, please use the following link to schedule a time that works best for you to meet with your student and counselor.
Go Wranglers & Go Rangers!
AND Gooooooooo SBMS ROBOTICS! Good luck at STATE up in Dallas this weekend!

Active Duty Military Families - Federal Impact Aid Survey Available in Skyward
Under Title VII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Comal ISD is eligible for Federal Impact Aid funds as the district enrolls students whose parents are active-duty military. In order to apply for these funds, the district must collect information from parents who may fall into this category.
The survey is available online to all parents as a tile in their Skyward Family Access. Please help us remind parents to fill out this form electronically. Below is the image of the tile, as it appears on the Skyward Dashboard.
Dance Team Tryout Clinics - Dec 16/Jan 27
Your SVHS Silver Spurs and Silverado dance teams are hosting two upcoming tryout clinics on Monday December 16th and January 27th. Your student can attend one or both dates. Click here to register.
A Message from Nurse Keith
Please be aware of Comal ISD policy regarding fever, which requires that all students and staff be free of fever (100 degrees and above) for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever reducing medications, before returning to school. Thank you for working with us to help prevent the spread of illnesses at school.
